PS1 Homebrew Project Allows Booting of Games from SD Card

Some clever bugger has been working on a homebrew solution for the original Sony PlayStation console. The project, known as PSIO, is a cartridge-based device that allows playback of backed-up PS1 games from an SD card, as well as the ability to boot and run custom code.

"Using custom designed hardware and software from the ground up that has taken many hours to complete, PSIO is an extremely high quality feat of engineering that will let you backup your original PlayStation 1 games, and play them on your PlayStation 1 console from an SD card, thus not requiring to use the disc and laser unit," reads the project page.
